Donald Grant Seems to have the best
of it Again.

The editor of the Railway Age has been
continuing the investigation into the rec
ords of rapid railroad building and in per-
suance of the work addressed lettea to
G. P. Huntington, of the Central and
Southern Pacifics, in regard to the matter.
The latter replied that the Central Parific
construction forces one day "roused them
selves and laid ten miles and few hum
dred feet in one working day, without re-
sorting to artificial light, as appears to
have been done in the case of the Manito-
ba road. But it was necessary to haul a
portion of the rails and ties out in advance" "
To this the Railway. Age says: at will be
seen that Mr., Huntington confirms the
statement already made in these columns
to the effect that in accomplishing this re-
markable achievement the rails were laid
simultaneously at several points; and hence
it remains that the Manitoba performance
ranks as the most rapid work of contin-
uous tracklaying ever accomplished"

The Crime for Which He
Was Arrested.

James Murray is about to sojourn in the
Benton Jail. It appears that about q fort,
night ago, Archy Campbell of Sand Cou-

die, for medicine. He also gave Murray
leave to stay here a couple of days to look
for work. Murray neither bought medi-
cine nor looked for work, bnt sold the
horse and saddle for $50 to Frank Merrill.
He then deemed it good time for disap-

GREAT FALLS TO BILLINGS.
The First Mail Coach to Arrive To-
mOrr0w-Advantages Of the
New Route.

| Superintendent Csrbin was securing a
barn Thursday and will take out the mails
for the Billings route Friday for the
first time. The stage which left Billings
Tuesday arrived here yesterday. The
| change in the route met with considerable
| opposition at Benton, and appeals were
made to the postoffice department to pre-
vent it, but on examination, the depart
ment was convinced that the public inter
ests will be best served by making this
| the west end of the route. Great Falls is
II miles nearer to Belt than Benton,
which insures saving to that extent in
the route. The gain in time thus affected
will be of great Importance, as it will aid
in the dispatch of the mails from this city,
which is the terminus both of the Manito-
ba and Montana Central lines. Benton
will suffer no inconvenience SO far as the
mails are concerned, as they will be dis
patched to that town by the Manitoba
railroad.
While the mail service will profit by the
change, the general public will likewise
gain. For instance, the stage fare from
Ubet to Billings is $40. and the railroad
fare thence to Helena is 1880, making
10. 'ss5e s5ee ta M.th the capital by that route $685.
cost only $1s.90, made DIP OF ss-ior -riil'1l -ril'1l
stage fare from Ubet to here and $4.90
from here by the Montana Central to Hell
ena. The express changes will show
proportionate saving in favor of this city.
Mr.. Corbin says that the trade along the
route is large. In the busy season, the
coach has left Benton daily with $500
worth of goods for the Judith Basin and
| other places on the route. He is confident
that the line will be of great service to the
business interests of this city.
Another gain will be in the ferriage,
| which in Benton caused the travelling pub
lie and mails much delay. Here there
will be no ferriage, for the coach will
drive up Central avenue direct from Bill
lings.
| Superintendent Corbin of the Billings
stage coach line left town Friday with the
mails. He took the bags this time in a
buggy, but hereafter they will go by the
regular stage. Mr.. Corbin said: 81 am
wonderstruck with this place which
knew formerly when there was nothing
but buffalo here. This cannot fail to be 8
great place when you take into account
the admirable townsite, the waterpowel
and the country back of here"
| Mr.. Corbin has given the agency for the
stage line to w. P. Wren. This appoint
ment will meet with public approval as the
location of the office is central and Mr.
Wren is well qualified to attend to the
general business of the line.

PECK'S PREVARICATIONS
Shown up in Good Style by Our Cor
respondent-He is Again Called
on to Put up. or Shut up.

To tile editor Of tie Tribune: /. w. Peck
in his communication to the River Press of
| the 25th of November makes many false
statements, and as | believe, knowingly
He stated falsely when he alleged that the
desert land filings referred to by the Tri-
bune editor, We're made by Great Falls
men. He stated falsely when he averred
that he was not opposed to the formation
of Cascade county, or that Great Falls
could never become an important town, OR
words to that effect He stated a willful
falsehood when he made the assertion that
the ''main inspiration which had actuated
the Falls from the start has been calcula-
ted to make the place unpopular No
town of its age has better OF more level
headed class of people than Great Falls,
and no yoang town is more popular
abroad. We may suffer for want of the
association and powerful aid of the editor
of the Wool Grower, and that may be all
we want here to make us popular in his
estimation. But what is our loss is Fort
Benton's gain, and we should therefore be
content with our waterpower and coal and
let our neigbboring city have Peck.
Mr.. Peck lodges the main question of
crops on the bench lands, but he cannot
-.-aIl -dndra the challenge to make
Nine Mile coulee or the Belt, ana 50 Tr1
offers to go Mr.. Gibson anywhere from
500 to $500 on the proposition he makes
in his letter, and says: ait is the surest
thing / have struck in northern Montana" !"
Now as Mr.. Peck likes to make money,
and regards this the surest kind OF
thing let him make the bet $4,000 to S.
600, and the writer Of this will meet him
at once and close the arrangement. 1t
must be understood, however, that Mr..
Peck shall name. the county in Minnesota
now, whose average yields of wheat | am
| to stlrpass in the four consecutive years.
And now, Mr.. Peck, let me assure you
| that all your malicious endeavers to Gre
ate any feeling of jealousy or hatred be-
and Benton, will meet with no success.
These towns, situated widely apart, will
all be thrifty, populous cities, and in my
| judgment would all occupy friendly re-
lations with each other even though there
were fifty Wool Grower editors who,
like yourself, were working night and
day to ALLEVIATE them. In what you state
regarding Benton there is no !" gall and
wormwood' ssto the average Great Falls
man. On the contrary, we rejoice to see
such evidences of commercial prosperity
in the oldest city of Montana. When you
have done half as much as the writer to
assist in the development Of business at
Fort Benton you can then undertake TO
read lesson to him and to other former
residents of that city. You can make
yourself and Fort Benton much more s'pop-
uar'' by attending to your own business
rather than by making malicious attacks
upon community with whom you have
scarcely any acquaintance at all.
